504 PUBLIC NOTICE:

Hazelwood School District

The Hazelwood School District, as a recipient of federal financial assistance from

the United States Department of Education and operates a public elementary or

secondary education program and/or activity, is required to undertake to identify

and locate every qualified person residing in the District who is not receiving a

public education; and take appropriate steps to notify disabled persons and their

parents or guardians of the District’s duty.

The Hazelwood School District assures that it will provide a free appropriate

public education (FAPE) to each qualified disabled person in the District’s

jurisdiction regardless of the nature or severity of the person’s disability. For

purposes of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the provision of an

appropriate education is the provision of regular or special and related aids and

services that (i) are designed to meet individual educational needs of disabled

persons as adequately as the needs of nondisabled persons are met, and (ii) are

based on adherence to procedures that satisfy the requirements of the 504 federal

regulations.

The Hazelwood School District has developed a 504 Procedures Manual for the

implementation of federal regulations for Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act,

Subpart D. This Procedures Manual may be reviewed at 15955 New Halls Ferry

Road, Florissant, MO 63031.

This notice will be provided in native languages as appropriate.
